  1. Get the Bsn or leave nursing?

    zzbxdo replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    So why don't you? Be an entrepreneur and do what you want to do. Money? Ditch that RN to BSN and go into computer science! But don't expect to get into Google or the likes, the majority of the big...

  2. Get the Bsn or leave nursing?

    zzbxdo replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    So.. By 2025 you don't have the confidence that you'll be competitive with all that experience. Every other field is the same, you're gonna start from the bottom and competing for a job. If you...

  3. OHSU, portland Oregon, help on getting in nursing

  4. I'm a Us Citizen, studied nursing in the Philippines and I'm now moving to back to the US.

    zzbxdo replied to timtams's topic in General Students

    You need to know which states will take your degree if you plan on finishing. CA will not, for sure. Wouldn't count on your classes transferring over midway

  5. I'm a Us Citizen, studied nursing in the Philippines and I'm now moving to back to the US.

    zzbxdo replied to timtams's topic in General Students

    I'm under the impression you're asking about nursing program in the states, and post high-school from the pi. If that's the case, it's all good. If you started taking classes already, you'll need to...

  6. Do Nursing Students Have a Life?

    zzbxdo replied to BellaInScrubs's topic in General Students

    If you hound the forums, you're gonna detect more negatives than positives. Stop logging on allnurses and enjoy your time off. Transitioning to nursing education is tough, but it really is just how...

  7. Which state BSN program to pick?

    zzbxdo replied to sl_94's topic in California Nursing

    Really, choose when you get the acceptance letter. Consider that you applied to the two most impacted CSU programs. I think sac is the better program as well, but SDSU is in San Diego and that can't...

    zzbxdo replied to SML456's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. IJs

    zzbxdo replied to maloneys's topic in MICU, SICU

    I don't understand why one would ask the interwebz regarding specific house practices. Go to the charge or manager what the culture of the setting

  10. How do you feel about professors locking the door?

    zzbxdo replied to Amnesty's topic in General Students

    Who's tuition is insane? On the other hand do you know how much these professor make? Not much. I certainly wouldn't put up with

  11. why do nursing???

    zzbxdo replied to elgpak's topic in General Students

    What assumptions are leading to the shortage of engineers and MDs due to increase of individuals diverted toward nursing? Why dont YOU do something about it if it bothers you that much? And what does...

    zzbxdo replied to procrastinator911's topic in California Nursing

    Nothing wrong with

  16. San Diego Hospitals

    zzbxdo replied to procrastinator911's topic in California Nursing

    Ideally you should have secured a position before moving as it is definitely a rough market even for those with experience. You kind of don't have the luxury of choosing which hospital can give you...

  17. NewGrad RN trying to move to Ca

    zzbxdo replied to vch1102's topic in California Nursing

    You are likely not going to get a job in LA by your stated goal date. Sorry bruh. Markets fierce, as all the other posters have suggested. It's probably not worth burning up your savings holding onto...

  18. CCRN retake! advice?

    zzbxdo replied to froggy8's topic in Critical Care

    I took this assessment. It's just like taking a mini ccrn. Even looks the same. Some people say there are some questions word for word but I don't recall, but they are more similar than pass or AACN...

  19. CCRN retake! advice?

    zzbxdo replied to froggy8's topic in Critical Care

    I pretty much only did questions on cardiac and respiratory using pass ccrn and Laura g vids. I made a spread sheet on excel on topics I got wrong and wrote out the answers/clarification. Grinded the...

  20. I Want To Do Critical Care!!

    zzbxdo replied to PacoUSA's topic in Critical Care

    I did not design the test, and I certainly do not make the rules. But it's clear that having actual ICU experience is NOT the sole requirement. Relevant (acute) care experience and studying can get...

  21. Numbers on patient ratios

    zzbxdo replied to guest769224's topic in California Nursing

    Typically. Ultimately the variability is due to facility resources, education, and staffing. You won't see 1:6 often unless they're far from acutely ill . 1:4 patient staying at UCLA can be a 1:2...

  22. I Want To Do Critical Care!!

    zzbxdo replied to PacoUSA's topic in Critical Care

    Ya. You don't need to have ICU experience, that's a misconception that's stayed right on the AACN ccrn faqs. You may just have to study harder to understand the concepts. Even with ICU experience you...

  23. I Want To Do Critical Care!!

    zzbxdo replied to PacoUSA's topic in Critical Care

    It's actually 1 year. And I took it recently and the per AACN materials it doesn't actually require ICU experience so long as you've met the other requisites. It was new news to me when I went over...

  24. I Want To Do Critical Care!!

    zzbxdo replied to PacoUSA's topic in Critical Care

    I think you technically don't need ICU experience to take the ccrn. Take a closer look at the requirements when you get a

  25. How in the world do I write a personal statement under 250 words?

    zzbxdo replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For a conference i had an abstract, 500 words. The same project for cn3 promotion, I had to butcher it to 120. As the previous poster stated, go ahead and write your statement and then strip down all...
